Title: Dual boot problem
Post by: offline on June 09, 2010, 01:47:07 PM

I recently obtained a second hard drive, so I decided to put a back up copy of windows on it. When I installed it, it seemed to *over ride* my windows 7 install, so now I cant start the computer with windows 7. Weird part is, I do not have that boot up screen asking to select the OS you wish to run....

Make it a slave drive and set your other hard drive to master?

So you had Windows 7 one drive and then decided to install Windows 7 again on another drive?

No, Windows XP.

It seems it did not read my other hard drive and created a new partition on my main hard drive....
